to cool a hot attitude, apply nice / to melt a cool attitude, address warmly

'i don’t know whether this film is simply a reflection of poor editing and/or creative direction, but i found this to be a very self-indulgent piece on behalf of Cathy Horan. if one puts forth the the question, what is the role of a journalist? then ultimately, at its most basic crux, it is to ask and inquire and present the facts. instead of an inspiring 5 minute film on Sarah and McQueen, it was a part homage to Cathy’s current view of fashion. this wasn’t a critical opinion piece so therefore the point of view of the journalist becomes much less important. it’s not their voice we want to hear, it’s the subject’s. and in this case Sarah’s perspective on her own work certainly got lost in part of a little bit of preaching.'
